WEBVTT ♪♪ >> NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JAY CARDOSI. JA PRETTY WEATHER OUT THERE RIGHT NOW ON THIS TUESDAY LATE AFTERNOON. YOU ARE LOOKING AT A LIVE PICTURE FROM THE CHOPP HD. WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF BEHIND CLOUDS CONTINUE TO PASS THROUGH, ENOUGH TO NOT ONLY FILTER OUT THE SUN, BUT ALSO PROVIDE A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET. IT IS GOING TO BE REALLY NICE AS WE MOVE DEEPER INTO THIS EVENING. ANY PLANS YOU MIGHT HAVE, IF YOU HAVE TO DO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING -- AS VICKI TOLD EVERYBODY, I AM NOT YET DONE -- YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY RAINFALL , AND TEMPERATURES LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE STAYING ON THE MILD SIDE. NUMBERS OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW, WARM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. 57 TO 60 IS THE ARRANGE AROUND TOWN. A SOUTHEAS BREEZE AT FIVE TO 10 MILES PER HOUR. HAS BEEN A WET PERIOD RECENTLY. WE HAD ALL THAT RA YESTERDAY, AND ESPECIALLY LAST NIGHT. THE MONTH OF DECEMBER JUST SHY OF TWO INCHES NOW. YEAR-TO-DATE, 5 AND 2/3 AN INCH OF RAIN. WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF WATER. GOOD NEWS, NOTHING IS SHOWING UP ON THE RADAR SCAN. WE HAVE A CLEAN SWEEP IN ALL DIRECTIONS. WE WILL HOLD ON TO THE DRY SKIES FOR THE BETTER PART OF TONIGHT. I THINK SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES WILL BE GOING UP AGAIN, BUT NOT UNTIL VERY LATE TONIGHT, LIKELY AFTER 3:00 OR 4:00 IN THE MORNING. LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURE CONTRAST . YOU GO NORTH, WOW, THERE IS WINTERTIME FOR STOP -- WHEN ARE TIME SIX IN CHICAGOLAND. -- 36 IN CHICAGOLAND. THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL BE VERY UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. A LITTLE BREAK IN THE ACTION ON TUESDAY AS THE RAINFALL IS WELL OFF TO THE EAST. WE NOW HAVE A MIX OF CLEAR SKIES AND A LITTLE BIT OF LATE DAY SUNSHINE. IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL STAY MILD THROUGH THIS TUESDAY EVENING. TRY, PLEASANT, TEMPERATURES AT 7:00 RIGHT AROUND 60 AND KIND OF HOVERING IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 50'S RIGHT THROUGH MID TO LATE EVENING. THOUGH CLOUDS WILL BE THICKENING, IT WILL STAY ON THE DRY SIDE. WE DO THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE CHANGING, ESPECIALLY LATE TONIGHT. HERE IS A LOOK AHEAD ON THE FUTURE CLOUDS AND RADAR. HERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, NOTHING GOING ON, QUIET. IT IS GOIN TO STAY QUIET THROUGH MIDNIGHT AND SHORTLY AFTER. AND THEN VERY LATE TOMORROW MORNING, A SCATTERING OF SHOWERS WILL BE DEVELOPING AS SOME WARMER AIR FLOODS BACK INTO THE REGION. MAYBE A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER AS WELL. WE WILL SEE A BREAK IN THE ACTION MID-DAY TOMORROW, A MIX OF CLOUDS AND A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE. EASY CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND 70 OR SO, COULD BE A RECORD HIGH. A FEW MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS COULD TRY TO WORK TOMORROW AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY JUST NORTH OF LOUISVILLE. TOMORR NIGHT, THINGS BECOME INTERESTING. MOISTURE IS IN PLACE AND A COLD FRONT MOVE THROUGH, SO A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IS EXPECTED TO ROLL ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE EARLY TO MID-EVENING HOURS. AT THAT TIME, SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE. BASICALLY TOMORROW EVENING AFTER MIDNIGHT, EVERYTHING RACES OFF TO THE EAST AND WE WILL BE QUIETING DOWN. BOTTOM LINE, THERE IS THAT THREAT FIRST SEVER WEATHER, TIMING FROM ANYWHERE FROM 6:00 TOMORROW EVENING TO ABOUT 11:00. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE THE PRIMARY THREATS, AND SO ARE ISOLATED TORNADOES, ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THE GREATEST TORNADO THREAT WILL BE POSITIONED IN WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN KENTUC DOWN INTO TENNESSEE AS WELL. WE WILL WATCH THAT CLOSE AND KEEP YOU UP-TO-DATE. HERE IS THE FORECAST. THIS EVENING, DOWN TO THE 50'S WE WILL GO. 58 AT 1 : 00 TONIGHT. IT IS BREEZY AND WARM MIDDAY TOMORROW. UPPER 60'S. WE GO UP TO AROUND 71 IN THE AFTERNOON. VICKI, THAT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS AGAIN, ESPECIALLY TOMORROW NIGHT. SOME COULD BE SEVERE. CHRISTMAS EVE LOOKS GRE. PARTLY CLOUDY, 67. CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE MORNING LOOKS DRY. SHOWER CHANCES WILL RETURN LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THROUGH THE WEEKEND, SPRINGLIKE, WARM.

Scattered showers, storms expected Wednesday
